Daring Explorers 23 July to 18 November 2012 Imagine being shipwrecked on a tiny island. Half your crew are dead. You’ve spent all your cash, eaten your last hunting dog and, most importantly, you need to get 30 giant tortoises to Britain alive or you don’t get paid. Find out if you have what it took to be a Victorian natural history collector in Daring Explorers. Discover true stories of danger, death and disaster from the Victorian species seekers who risked their lives in remote places, collecting animals and plants in the name of science. Read hair-raising letters to loved ones, flick through some ‘holiday snaps’ and check out the specimens and equipment that made it home, even if the collectors didn’t.
